This is a well known saying among Preston people, often applied to some 'service' or other which is running late, or perhaps communication from a daughter away at college! It's grounded in the fact that a Guild takes place only every 20 years. Virtually everybody in the city and surrounding areas knows that fact, and knows that various celebrations are held; but far fewer people know about the Guild's actual workings. On page 1 we send our congratulations to three people, well known to the Federation and to history, art and archaeology afficionados in the area and beyond, who during this Guild of 2012 were created Burgesses. What does this process involve? What is its significance? I asked Bill Shannon to write an outline in reply to my queries. Editor ======================== Every twenty years, when a Guild is held, an additional small group of Burgesses is created to build up existing numbers. These comprise Freemen (e.g. Nick Park), and all still-living Mayors and Aldermen from the last twenty years who are not already Burgesses, and the three Guild Stewards for the current Guild. The Guild Stewards are usually the leaders of the three political parties, which explains my own appointment. This time, in a newly set up practice, twenty additional Burgesses were nominated by the people of Preston, under three categories. I served on the committee which chose the twenty, out of the fifty whose nominations were accepted. The twenty included Ian Hall of James Hall (Spar), Eddie Topping of Barton Grange and Edwin Booth of Booths - plus various community leaders and voluntary workers. The opening Court also re-enrols those burgesses who enrolled last time, plus their children or grandchildren. There were about 600 of those this time, including babes-in-arms. I spoke with people who had come from all over the world - Tasmania, Canada, South Africa, USA and elsewhere - who had come to enrol in person, the problem being that, if you break your succession of enrolment, you cannot mend it at the next Guild. It was therefore specially 2 fascinating to meet two people who could trace their unbroken line of ancestor-Burgesses back to the seventeenth century. The Record Office (now re-named Lancashire Archives) was kept busy, and had put all Guild Rolls in their care on line! Now that I myself am a Burgess, that status will pass to my daughter and granddaughter provided they duly enrol - a fact that gives me great pleasure. As a Guild Steward, I found myself meeting and greeting the Guild's visitors, including the Lord Lieutenant, the High Sheriff, Garter King of Arms, Archbishop Sentamu and the Bishop of Blackburn. There is no doubt that the holding of the Guild has given a real boost to the city. Bill Shannon ================================================================= EARBY AND DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY 1. The Earby and District Local History Society’s new Heritage Room was officially opened by Councillor Chris Tennant, Chairman of Earby Town Council, at a special event on September 8th coinciding with Heritage Open days. The Heritage Room, located in the New Road Community Centre in Earby, is the repository for the society’s collection of archives, artefacts and photographs relating the Earby district. It is intended that the archive will be available for local and family historians to use on a 'by appointment' basis. Further information can be obtained from Bob Abel 01282 843850 or via the Society, on [email protected] . 2. The Earby and District Local History Society has also released its latest publication, “Getting Better – Health Care in Earby Through the years” by Stephanie Carter. The book traces the changing face of health care in Earby from the days of herbal remedies to today’s National Heath Service. One chapter charts the local doctors who have cared for local residents over the last 150 years or so and in another we discover the voluntary work of the local St Johns Ambulance Brigade. This lavishly illustrated book costs £8 plus £2-50 post and packaging. Contact Bob Abel 01282 843850 or the Society on [email protected] The Earby Society’s programme for the next six months is as follows: October 2012 – March 2013 Meetings: 7.30pm at New Road Community Centre, Earby, Everyone welcome. 2012 Tuesday 16th October “All Quiet on the Western Front” – a tour of cemeteries and memorials in Flanders and on the Somme.

    TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE VOL. CXVII TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE FOR THE YEAR 1965 VOLUME 117 LIVERPOOL PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY 1966 Made and Printed in Great Britain by C. Tinting & Co. Ltd., Liverpool, London and Prescot. EDITORIAL NOTE Even so diverse a body as a Historic Society must have a local habitation as well as a name, but though most of the Society's meetings are held in Liverpool the name reminds us that the Society's sphere of interest and, we hope, of influence, extends to Cheshire as well as to Lancashire. The editors are therefore particularly glad to consider articles relating to the history of Cheshire and are pleased that it is possible to print three such papers in this volume. We hope that more contributions from Cheshire historians will be forthcoming. Honorary editors, in their enthusiasm for presenting to readers all that deserves to be published, are a sore trial to honorary treasurers, who must have an equal enthusiasm for balancing the books. We have therefore been asked to make amends by reminding members that it would be of great assis­ tance to the Society if they would arrange to pay their subscrip­ tions in accordance with a deed of covenant, the necessary forms being obtainable from either of the treasurers. The Council is grateful to Mr. D. Anderson, Mr. B. G. Blackwood, Mr. J. Phillip Dodd, Mr. D. J. Hoey and Mr. E. Midwinter for contributing to the cost of producing this volume, and, once again, to Mr.

  • Notes on Stanbury
    D R A F T NOTES ON THE LORDSHIP AND MANOR OF STANBURY Pre-History Evidence of Mesolithic settlement on upland sites in the NW of West Yorkshire along the major watersheds; evidence from Stanbury Moor in the form of three geometric microliths. 1 Bronze Age Stone circle discovered near the site of Walshaw Dean reservoir (SD 967343) on Wadsworth Moor to the SW of Stanbury Moor. The circle, 11 metres in diameter, surrounded a smaller circle, also built of stones. A second circle (SD 96213155) surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1962 thought to be a hut circle rather than a ceremonial circle. 2 Numerous additional National Monuments are also situated within the boundaries of the Manor of Stanbury. Anglo-Saxon Place-name: Old English Stan Burh “Stone Fortification”. Editor notes (1961) that “no trace of the fortification remains”. 3 “It is extremely difficult to isolate specific Mercian place-names. Even those containing definite Mercian forms, such as the inflected bury, rather than the uninflected borough from the OE burh (e.g. Stanbury, Dewsbury) may not go back to the 7th century, but may simply be the result of Mercian elements in the local dialect. Moreover, even if a place bears a probable Mercian name, this cannot be taken to indicate that it was actually occupied by Mercians.. It is, therefore, impossible at present to isolate specific Mercian settlements, but the possibility of their existence must be borne in mind in the course of future archaeological work in the county, especially in Agbrigg and Morley wapentakes, where the strongest evidence for Mercian influence is to be found in the place-names.” 4 Manor of Bradford held by Gamel.
